"Pinball couldn't be better!!!"
This is a pretty cool pinball game. It is for up to four players but it has only one mode. The game is challenging and it has good graphics to look at. The board is well designed and is well detailed, simple controls, and great graphics makes this game pretty cool except only one pinball board to play on. To start a game you have to insert a coin and then press play. Even though it’s not a real pinball machine the developers kept everything for the machine on to the computer. With fast paced graphics and a whole hootin fun this game should provide some good quality time of fun. This game may last for only a little while but its worth it because its free.
GAMEPLAY **8**
It’s very easy the Z button moves the left flipper and the ? / buttons control the right flipper. It’s very easy to control and if you don’t like the selected buttons for the flippers you can change them. The movement of the flippers is quick and responsive. It feels great on the keypad and it’s easy to control it. All of the controls are very responsive. With the fast paced action of this game your gonna need some good control. This game provides good overall control of the game with the keyboard and works pretty good.
SOUND / MUSIC **8**
The music is great the sounds are awesome. Everything on this game was well detailed. You can hear the ball hit stuff or the counting of your points. The sound was not skipped in this game it’s all there and it sounds great on the PC. With all of the special sounds you get when you hit something you may be surprised on how much sound is in this game. When the ball hits tha pads by the flippers it makes a sound. You can hear everything you would if you played the exact same game at the arcade.
GRAPHICS **7**
The graphics are awesome and the pinball board is well detailed with all of hidden spots and cool stuff. The only problem is that very rarely the game might hesitate but it’s not really that big of deal is it? It has a sweet board to play on and has every thing a pinball machine has to offer. It has a little screen to tell you your score or the combo you just hit it’s all their nothing is missing in this game. Everything on the board is very detailed with markings and other stuff.
REPLAYABILITY **5**
The game is awesome to play with friends and is very challenging to play its not really hard but challenging. It’s fun to play by your self for a little while but it may get boring after playing it for 100 times and counting. Without a second board to play in this game has hardly any thing in the replayability factor. The only thing that makes this game fun is with friends.
CHALLENGE **7**
Not exactly a really hard game. All you have to do is just keep the ball from going past your flippers. Simple eigh well no not all the time some times the ball really gets going and its hard to keep your eye on the ball and you loose it so you just hit the flipper buttons as fast as you can and hope the ball doesn’t go past.
BUY
I don’t think you can rent this game or any PC game. But if you find it somewhere for a couple of bucks pick it up it can’t hurt to try it at all. It’s a good game or a one time hit to play every so often.
